"Due Date"

I wanted to like this more than I actually did. I make no secret of the fact that Robert Downey, Jr. is my favorite actor, but I didn't enjoy his character in this film. I do, however recommend watching it for the special moments in this film.
Zach Galifanakis (had to check that spelling TWICE by the way), was his usual, comically credible self. By the end of the film I did believe that in some universe these two people could actually be friends.
The premise of the film is that Robert Downey, Jr.'s character had to make it home in time for the birth of his first child by Cesarean section. Zach's character makes that very nearly impossible.
I sincerely look forward to Mr. Downey's next offing. Here's to hoping it has more depth and less masturbation jokes.
